A simple two-step synthesis of (′)-sitophilate in has been developed by addition of propanal to the lithium enediolate of propanoic acid and subsequent esterification with 3-pentanol under standard Fischer conditions. Efforts to control the diastereoselectivity to generate the syn isomer are described. A modest degree of asymmetric induction is found using chiral amides as base.

The aggregation pheromone of the granary weevil Sitophilus granarius, (2S,3R)-1-ethylpropyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpentanoate, has been synthesized in 63% total isolated yield and high chemical and enantiomeric purity (98% de, > 99% ee) from readily available methyl 3-oxopentanoate. A stereoselective ketone reduction followed by an ester hydrolysis, were the two key steps of the synthesis and were both performed by commercially available enzymes. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

An efficient synthesis of the 3-pentyl ester of 2S-methyl-3R-hydroxypentanoic acid (sitophilate) and its 2S,3S-, 2R,3R-, and 2R,3S-isomers has been carried out starting from the available 2R-methyl-3-butenyl acetate as sole monochiral precursor.
